RSSBodyCartography Project - Super Nature Installation (a performance for an audience of one)
Chicago Cultural Center > DCASE Theater & Dance > SpinOff > Super Nature Installation
An immersive experience offered to the public during SHIFT: A New Media Exhibit by Luftwerk, BodyCartography Project will present Super Nature Installation on October 11 and 12, 12–5 pm as part of the new SpinOff dance series. In an empty gallery, one member of the public will meet one performer and have a non-verbal interaction. Both performer and audience will have agency to transform the energy of the space through their behavior and social interaction, sometimes very subtle and sometimes extreme.
